Mixed Media Painting: Collage to Distraction with Peter Monaghan

Sunday 25th November

10am to 4pm

Cost £55 – Fully Booked

In this course we will look at ways of moving away from a direct representational painting towards an abstracted image, without ever actually arriving in pure abstraction. We will learn ways of collaging to distract and detract from the obvious; helping us to create paintings with more depth and sophistication.

Working in acrylic on board or canvas we’ll use corrugated cardboard, takeaway coffee cups, newsprint, bubble wrap and a plethora of other everyday materials that will initiate fresh ideas taking our work off on unsuspected tangents.
